What Obama yelled to Hugh Beaumont while playing his 95th round of golf

"Fore, Ward!"

The Obama campaign finally released their slogan for the 2012 and it's "Foreward!"  To which I say, yes! Forward with the endless supply of material for ridicule!

I like this one: "Was 'Reply-All' taken?"
To which I might add: "Look forward but - for God's sake - don't look back at the past three-and-a-half years."  Or "Forward-looking...after blaming everybody in the past."
Or how about this warning of another trillion-dollar federal deficit: "Not to worry! Obama will just, uh, pay it forward.  Or rather, we will."
I like the socialist spin: "Just like China's Great Leap Forward, but in America!"
And if you want to get really old-school there's Stalin's Order #227, comrades.

I predict this slogan will go down the memory tube of bad ideas along with Dan Rather's one-word signoff:



Extra - Ace has more along with Gateway Pundit.  Forward in the glorious struggle!

More - RNC tweet: "Under Obama's budget, Americans can look FORWARD to $1.9 trillion in higher taxes."  Uh-oh, there's another hijacked hashtag.

"What's the frequency, Eric?"

Obama presents a vaporous slogan that confirms the existence of the future and nothing else. While Mitt "It's still about the economy, and we're not stupid" Romney offers a 20-year-old callback, while being oblivious to the irony of his embracing it. Truly we live in the age of titans.

Pffft, Obama! What a sad, empty suit. There hasn't been a stupid "Forward" slogan from a sitting president in almost eight years.

When you're done chuckling, feel free to identify the most substantive and meaningful campaign slogans of the past third of a century.

2012: (Romney) Believe in America

2008: (Obama) Yes We Can; Hope; Change You Can Believe In; (McCain) Country First; Experience Counts; A Leader You Can Believe In

2004: (Bush) Moving America Forward; Yes America Can; (Kerry) The Real Deal; Let America Be America Again; Help Is On the Way

2000: (Bush) Compassionate Conservatism; Reformer with Results; A Uniter, Not a Divider; Leave No Child Behind; (Gore) Leadership for the New Millennium; Prosperity for America's Families

1996: (Clinton) Building a Bridge to the Future/21st Century; (Dole) A Better Man for a Better America

1992: (Clinton) It's the Economy, Stupid; Putting People First; (Bush) A Thousand Points of Light

1988: (Bush) A Kinder, Gentler Nation; (Dukakis) On Your Side; The Best America is Yet to Come

1984: (Reagan) It's Morning Again in America; Stay the Course; Leadership That's Working; (Mondale) America Needs a Change; Jobs, Peace, Opportunity

1980: (Reagan) It's Morning in America; The Time is Now; (Carter) We Did It Before, We'll Do It Again

...and so on.
